793 Bitterness

"In that autumn, a long day of dry, dark and silent, heavy clouds hung low above the sky. I rode my horse alone, passing through this gloomy, exotic country land, and finally, when night slowly came, the cold scenery of the Eshe Mansion appeared before me.

I have never seen it before, but with just a glance just now, some unbearable gloom soaked my heart. I looked at the sparse scenery around the mansion, the walls were deserted, the decaying trees were covered with white, my soul was absent, my heart was cooling, sinking, showing a weak pathological condition."

At the end of the movie, Henry stood on the podium, reciting Allan Poe's famous work "The Collapse of the Usher House". In that deep and hoarse, sad and grand voice, the words in the book seem to be evolving into images in reality:

The weeds are growing everywhere, broken and decaying, and the lifeless campus is a campus that is overturned, the corners of the net, broken windows, dead leaves all over the ground, damaged door panels, scattered books, withered potted plants, raging wind... Only the blackboard still remains the blackboard written by the teacher in the classroom, implying that everything that happened here has a faint bitterness and sorrow in this lonely ruin.

The Usher House written by Allan Poe is also a school in real life, or an education system, or even a society.

In the last scene of the movie, Henry Barth stood alone in front of the podium, lonely and lonely, facing the desolate classroom that had turned into ruins, quietly sitting quietly, the distant and quiet gaze looked at the camera quietly, and there was a faint light flowing in his quiet eyes, as if the deep blue lake water gradually turned black bit by bit, and finally all the halos completely disappeared.

"Detachment", the big screen suddenly turned black, and the font of blackboard chalk words appeared, "detach-ment", which became completely dark in the melodious and magnificent classical music, and then the list of crew members appeared, the first name was "Ranley Hall".

Mark was stunned in place. The shock, reflection, and surging caused a storm in his mind. Countless thoughts were in a mess, like a messy ball of yarn. There was no place for the thread. There were only large clusters of yarns surging in his sight. But the next second, the name of "Ranli Hall" seemed like a beam of light in the darkness, and a "splash" sounded in his mind. Then, Mark stood up suddenly and applauded vigorously.

Applause, applause, or applause.

This is a story about social education, not only in the United States, but all over the world. The power of education is gradually being weakened. The lack of family education and school education is causing the next generation to be confused. The downturn in the economic situation further pushes education into the abyss of reality.

The essential meaning of education should be to broaden the view of the world, change the benchmark for measuring things, and think about problems; but now, education has become a springboard for creating economic income and finding high-paying jobs. The development process of human beings first pursues material food and clothing, and then pursues spiritual satisfaction. Education belongs to the latter, but now education has begun to serve the former. This is the fall of the entire society and the deformity of the fast food era.

This is still a story about Henry Bart. This man who was forgotten by his family and abandoned by the world has gone through vicissitudes and scars, but still tries to change the status quo of other children through his own efforts. However, he can't even save himself, so how can he save others-

In him, the contradictory thoughts of idealists and realists are condensed. Every effort is always defeated by reality, and every compromise is always defeated by reality. He is struggling but can never escape the sea of ​​suffering. At the end of the story, the education system collapsed, and Henry firmly grasped the last glimmer of hope in his life, and continued to move forward in amid the ruins of the end of the world.

This is a wonderful story, but it is also a bloody story. The despair mixed with bitterness and helplessness is like a drowning state, always struggling but always besieged. After the movie is over, the mouth is full of bitterness and cannot be expressed; the reflection is endless.

So Mark applauded selflessly, because of the current educational situation reflected in this movie, the social problems reflected in this movie, and because of the outstanding performance of Lanley in this movie that makes the soul tremble-

Standing in front of the camera, between every move, between words and deeds, a look, a smile, and an action, the whole performance has become fuller. There is no need for extra embellishment and explanation. The resonance in the depths of the soul has begun to sound. Every audience can empathize, savor its own touch of viewing, and be deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate itself. This is the real performance, this is the great performance, and it is enough to make the whole movie a enjoyable performance.

Shocking, this word to describe Mark's inner thoughts at this moment still seem too shallow and too simple. So he chose to applaud.

Mark was not alone, almost rushing around. Before the cinema lights were on, the subtitles had just rolled up, and the audience could not wait to stand up. The warm applause was almost brewing. It rushed like a tsunami, and in an instant it filled the entire screening room, and then it began... the earth was shaking.

The applause became more and more hot, more and more surging, and more and more crazy, surging in the darkness, just like this movie, with calm waves on the surface, and the underwater tide surging. The violent surging hits the soul hard, stirring up a series of distant and long echoes. People cannot see or hear, but they can feel the sky and earth that breaks from the depths of their souls, and the mountains and tsunamis.

The weakening of vision, touch and smell further enhances the sensitivity of hearing. The continuous applause is further amplified, and the whole body begins to tremble.

Reflection is the careful taste of everyone; salute is the common idea of ​​everyone.

The applause lasted for 120 seconds, and the subtitles finally reached the second half. The lights in the screening room slowly lit up and the light reappeared. The applause at the scene did not weaken, but instead went up to a higher level, without screaming, without whistling, without cheering, just pure applause, the boiling sound gradually climbed to the climax, and reached its peak when Tony Kayer and Renly Hall stood up and walked towards the front of the stage.

You can feel the slight vibration like a slight earthquake in the entire main venue.

The audience who did not enter the premiere venue, the staff responsible for maintaining order, and the reporters who missed the premiere invitation were all dumbfounded and incredibly cast their sights towards the main venue screening hall. The top sound insulation system kept all the sounds indoors, but the surging vibration clearly conveyed the truth: "detachment", which won the support of the audience, and was crazy.

This is the Berlin Film Festival, not the hospitality of Toronto, any work will be applauded; not the business-first Cannes, works led by Hollywood stars can always get applause from the audience; not the restrained and polite Venice, even if you want to curse, the audience will thank the release of the work with simple applause.

This is Berlin.

Like means like, not like means not like. When facing annoying works, audiences who leave the show are common; when facing sharp works, they have a lot of tit-for-tat viewpoints; when facing bad works, criticism is extremely harsh and merciless. Applause? That is left for art, not business, nor garbage, it can only be art.

Today, the movie "Delivery" won a full four-minute standing ovation. This is the first time this year's Berlin Film Festival. Last year's "One Separation" received such treatment, and this year's "Delivery" received such treatment - or is it, Renly Hall?

The main creators of the entire crew walked up to the front of the stage, and the audience burst into thunderous applause for a long time.

Mark only felt that his palms had begun to numb. Thousands of cells died in the red palm, but the excitement in his heart was still blowing. Turning his head, Mark saw his friends: Katarina, Chuck and Christine.

Each of their cheeks flushed slightly, their eyes flashed with excitement, and they slapped their hands hard, not only applauding, but also venting all their strength. The clear and transparent eyes reflected Lan Li's figure, and the whole soul was roaring, cheering, shouting, and enjoying himself.

Suddenly, Mark's dry eyes became wet, and the warm water vapor blurred his vision.

"Deliverance" is not a touching movie, it is not enough to make people cry, sad to bitterness, pain to despair, all emotions seem to be frozen, leaving only blank cry for help and helpless cry for help; but at this moment, the surging touch attacked Mark hard because of Renli, because of the actor who dedicated his life to the performance.

Mark has never watched "Love Madness" or "I Against Cancer". Just because he was "buried alive", that movie made him fall in love with the actor; and now, a "detachment" made him fall in love with the actor.

God, how lucky he is. Looking back on last night, thinking back on the red carpet, and thinking back on the "detachment" that just ended, Mark was hit without warning, and then tears fell down, joy and happiness, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed freely. The applause became even more enthusiastic.

Standing directly in front of the stage, Tony seemed to keenly capture the audience's inner thoughts, so he pushed Lan Li and pushed the movie's most well-deserved hero to the front stage. In an instant, the audience's applause broke through the limit again, like a tornado passing through the border, raging in the screening hall.

Lan Li stood there, watching the surging craze, and the touch and excitement filled his chest. He liked this moment so much, not because of the warm applause, but because of the pair of empathy and reflection on the surging eyes. At this moment, he knew that he had completed the task of being an actor, and that kind of satisfaction was irreplaceable.
